| Text: | A Charge to Keep I Have |
| Author: | Charles Wesley |
| Tune: | BOYLSTON |
| Composer: | Lowell Mason |
1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs engage
To do my Master's will!
3 Arm me with watchful care
As in Thy sight to live,
And now Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
And still on Thee rely,
O let me not my trust betray,
But press to realms on high.
Amen.
